Recycling at Carmen

At Carmen, we are committed to reducing waste and helping our customers recycle responsibly. We support the collection and recycling of electrical products, batteries and packaging materials in line with UK environmental regulations.

By recycling unwanted items correctly, valuable materials can be recovered and reused, helping to reduce landfill waste and protect the environment.

Electrical and Electronic Equipment Recycling

Electrical and electronic products should not be disposed of with general household waste. Products displaying the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol are covered by the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations and should be recycled through approved collection facilities.

You can recycle unwanted electrical products by:

• Taking them to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre
• Using local authority recycling schemes
• Finding a nearby recycling point through Recycle Your Electricals

Anything with a plug, battery or cable can usually be recycled.

Find a Recycling Point

Battery Recycling

Some Carmen products contain batteries. Batteries should not be disposed of in household waste, as they can be recycled and may present safety risks if disposed of incorrectly.

Please remove batteries from products where possible and take them to a local battery collection point or recycling centre. Many supermarkets and retailers also provide battery recycling facilities.

Packaging Recycling

We are continually working to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging. Please recycle cardboard boxes, paper inserts and other recyclable packaging materials in accordance with your local authority’s recycling guidance.

Where possible, packaging components should be separated before recycling.

Responsible Disposal

If you are replacing an old appliance, many local recycling centres accept electrical products free of charge. Please do not place electrical items or batteries in your general household waste bin.

To find your nearest recycling facility, visit Recycle Your Electricals or contact your local authority.
